U.S. News would like to update AIR members on the latest U.S. News'
plans for the 2009 Edition of America's Best Colleges to be published
in August 2008.
DATA COLLECTION for the main, financial aid, and finance surveys began
March 21, 2008. Each of your school's contacts should have received an
email from a US News Data Researcher with details on how to access the
online surveys. If you are a survey contact and you did not receive
the emailed survey notice, please contact Vachelle Manly, Data
Collection Manager, at mailto:vmanly@usnews.com.
THE RANKINGS/GUIDE IS SCHEDULED TO BE PUBLISHED THE WEEK OF AUGUST
25, 2008. The new rankings are tentatively set to be published online
on Friday August 22, 2008. In mid-August, U.S. News will again update
AIR members on the details of the data release. Any school that
completes the U.S. News Main or Financial Aid survey will get a free
12-month pass, starting around August 22, 2008, to the U.S. News Best
Colleges premium online web site.
RANKING QUESTIONS: If you have questions about the U.S. News rankings,
U.S. News ranking methodology, the U.S. News peer assessment surveys
or U.S. News publications, contact Bob Morse, Director of Data
Research at mailto:bmorse@usnews.com.
In advance, U.S. News would like to thank AIR members for
participating in the current U.S. News Best Colleges data collection.
We fully understand that it takes a lot of work to fill out surveys.
